What is your favourite Benjamin Disraeli quote or story?
19 Curzon Street, Mayfair, London, the house where Benjamin Disraeli died. This was met to be his base for the Tory revival against Gladstonian liberalism after the 1880 general election defeat, but alas it was not meant to be.

@SethDillon A conservative is to be in awe of permanence and continuity. To be inspired by long lasting marriages and loving families. To be fascinated by nations with great cultural history. See the wonder in worship and in beautiful architecture. To favour a property-owning economy.

I have just started reading @PennyMordaunt's new book; I certainly agree with this: 'These traditions become more important in rapidly changing time...Many feel these traditions are under threat and need to be defended. I agree. In a time of rapid change, they mean a lot to us.'

It is 100 years since Margaret Thatcher was born in Grantham. Fifty years since she took over the Conservative Party. Thirty-three years since she was forced from office. Today’s voters are not...

I view The Conservative Mind as a book-length refutation of that very insult by Mill. The book is also a refutation of the assumption that the rootless, secular progressives have all the intellectual firepower. Me for @hu_conservative
I have written a review of Russell Kirk's The Conservative Mind for the new print issue of @hu_conservative magazine.

'We can all see Labour are leading Britain to disaster. Their poll ratings are collapsing, and the whole country is laughing at Keir Starmer’s baffled Captain Hastings-like inability to read what’s going on around him.' @DavidGHFrost

.@LordCFalconer’s astute defence of the Gov’t in his 🧵below rests on a key factual point: that the paragraph downplaying the threat from China was contained in *both* the 2nd statement pre-charge under the last Conservative Gov’t, *and also* in the 3rd statement post-charge
The 3 witness statements of M Collins in China spy trial,two before charge (dec 23,feb 24), one after(aug 25) are to same effect. Each assert China conducted substantial operations to prejudice UK security. No change in tone or substance in Aug 25 statement from earlier two.
